Top Ten European Football Clubs of 2012

The Top Ten
1 Chelsea F.C. Chelsea Football Club is a professional football club in London, England, that competes in the Premier League. Founded in 1905, the club's home ground since then has been Stamford Bridge. Chelsea won the First Division title in 1955, followed by various cup competitions between 1965 and 1971.

Chelsea are the best team in the world because they have made so many rubish players into mega stars = such as didier drogba, frank lampard, nicolas anelka, petr cech and many many more other players and chelsea have got so many talented youth players that can lift the champions league a 1000 times in a row and I should know because I am diego marandona sighing out. I am a life long chelsea football club fan.

CHELSEA ARE THE BEST BETTER THAN THE REST CAUSE LOOK DIDIER DROGBA AMAZING BUT LEFT BUT LOOK AT THE NEW PLAYERS WE HAVE GOT (MARKO MARIN) (EDEN HAZARD) (OSCAR the SILVA) (VICTOR MOSSES) (AND DEMBA BA) WOW HEES GOOD laugh out loud I'm laugh out loud YOUR laugh out loud WERE ALL laugh out loud

€They won the Champions League this year so of course they should be ranked the highest. It makes no sense that Barcelona and Real are ranked higher when they've only topped their domestic league which is considerably easier than the PL.

2 FC Barcelona

Chelsea sucks. They are so damn bad in the EPL this season! Barca is the best, and everyone knows that. Even though I am personally a fan of Barca, real Madrid should still be ahead of Chelsea. Bayern and Milan too.

5 Out of 5 Match Wins So Far in This Season of La Liga. Best Striker in World- Messi. Best Midfielder in World- Iniesta. Best Defender in World- Pique. And Guess What? David Villa is Back in The Side Too.

The world's best team was eliminated in the C.L. semifinals by a well organized defense of Chelsea F.C., lost the La Liga to Real Madrid but still plays the best Football

3 Real Madrid Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly known as Real Madrid, or simply as Real, is a professional football club based in Madrid, Spain.

Real Madrid is AT LEAST the 2nd best team in the world right now. The only team challenging them for the best team in the world is Barcelona. They showed fantastic skill and consistency winning la liga with a record amount of points last season. If they show up barca next year and win the champions league, which is very possible, they will have cemented their spot as the best team in the world. I can assure you that if either Barcelona or Real Madrid played in the Premier League, they would win with ease as they do in la liga. If Chelsea were a better team they would have finished in the top 3 of the PL. They won the Champions League with counter attacks and a lot of luck. I was happy to see them win but they struggled in nearly all their games in Champions League play and cannot be called the best based on them

Legends play for real madrid...
Zidane, ronaldo, cr7, iker, kaka, beckham.. Very legend plays for madrid
Imma madrista forever... Real madrid till I die! Only real madrid deserves to be number 1 position.. Rest all clubs are not as best as real madrid...! Real madrid has history and has money and has die hard fans and has qualities to deserve number 1 position... HALA MADRID!

4 FC Bayern Munich Football-Club Bayern München e.V., commonly known as FC Bayern München, FCB, Bayern Munich, or FC Bayern, is a German sports club based in Munich, Bavaria. They currently compete in the Bundesliga, the top flight division in German football.

Bayern will be the best team starting 2018 when their stadium is fully paid of an many more millions (30-40M Euros) will be available each year. Also T.V. money in Germany will increase every 3-4 years and catch up with the Premier League by 2020.

Despite playing a great football, Bayern only managed to be second in every competition, including the home loss at the C.L. final

The most unlucky team ever. I remember how painful they lost to MU in 1999.
13 years later it happened again (against Chelsea).
They were better then but lost again.

5 Manchester United Manchester United Football Club is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, that competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football.

COME on Manchester United did beat chelsea and were higher than them in the premier league you are stupid if you say chelsea are first

5th? The most consistent team of the last two decades! 13 Premier league titles... You joking?

This rating is very bad. United is the best football club. United forever..

6 AC Milan Associazione Calcio Milan, commonly referred to as A.C. Milan or simply Milan, is a professional football club in Milan, Italy, founded in 1899. The club has spent its entire history, with the exception of the 1980-81 and 1982-83 seasons, in the top flight of Italian football, known as Serie A since 1929-30.

Milan preserves a better postion than 7th. Even if Atletico and Athletic have won and got into the final of Europa League 2012.

The club that has been most successful in European football

Has 8 trophies of Champions League, problem?!

7 Liverpool FC Liverpool Football Club is a Premier League association football club. It is based in Liverpool, Merseyside, England.

Oh jeez more on Chelsea! This might have been a year ago but Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1 when we were in THE RELEGATION ZONE then we went to 8th and the team was really down then I don't know why (probably unlucky), they got back up and kept fighting. Not just there huge fan population but recently they beat Man united 1-0 because we have Daniel Sturidge on our team with him and Gerrard plus the defense and great others we are practicly invincible! YOULL NEVER WALK ALONE WHEN YOU SUPPORT THIS TEAM!

One of better teams in PL but unfortunately without luck on their side

Liverpool won the champions league so this foolish website sucks>

8 Atlético Madrid Club Atlético de Madrid, SAD, commonly known as Atlético Madrid, or simply as Atlético or Atleti, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid, that plays in La Liga. The club play their home games at the Wanda Metropolitano, which has a capacity of 68,000.

The name Borussia came from the Latin name of a beer in a nearby brewery there . They used to wear blue and white with a red sash but then started to wear there know black and yellow .

Win or lost, you never walk alone...
The Fans always support the team

10 Arsenal Arsenal Football Club is a professional football club based in Islington, London, England, that plays in the Premier League, the top flight of English football.

Arsenal would own Valencia, Bilbao, and Altetico hands down, and would take on any of the top 5 listed above no problem. This list is flawed, 50% of it is comprised of Spainish teams. Arsenal should land 7th AT LEAST.

Don't underestimate arsenal, with limited budget they did nice job to be in top competition no one can do.

The most and the strongest club Arsenal thank you

The Contenders
11 Juventus Juventus Football Club S.p.A., colloquially known as Juve, is a professional Italian football club in Turin, Piedmont.

We are the best team in the world

12 Manchester City Manchester City Football Club, commonly known as City, is a football club in Manchester, England. Founded in 1880 as St. Mark's, it became Ardwick Association Football Club in 1887 and Manchester City in 1894.

They won the premier league and top contenders to win it this season. They should at least got to be in the top 5 maybe top 7. Most teams in the top 10 are only in that position because of their trophy history. This is 2012 best European teams we are talking about here, not all time

You gotta be kidding me. City should be at least at 8th. They won the BPL title in the last 15 seconds and that was the best moment for the citizens.

13 Athletic Bilbao

Europa League 2012 Runner-Up

BEST CLUB IN HISTORY!

14 Paris Saint Germain Paris Saint-Germain Football Club, commonly known as Paris Saint-Germain, Paris SG, or simply PSG, is a French professional football club based in the city of Paris. Founded in 1970, the club has traditionally worn red-and-blue kits.

PSG was one of the greatest football club on the beginning 1990.
Today the club reappars in front of the european scene with great players and very famous coach ancelotti.

15 Valencia Competing in La Liga, Spain's top soccer division, Valencia CF represents the city of Valencia. With numerous Copa del Rey titles, they host their matches at Mestalla Stadium. The team's colors are white, black, and orange.
16 Galatasaray

Did a great job, and went all the way to the Quarter finals against Real Madrid, was close to make it. But I don't think there really was a hope after the 80 minutes, when Galatasaray needed to score 2 goals, Fatih Terim voted as top 5 manager of the year, since he made Galatasaray champions in the superlig 2 years in a row, and made it to the quarter finals!

17 FC Porto Hailing from Porto, Portugal, Futebol Clube do Porto competes in Primeira Liga, the top flight of Portuguese football. Established in 1893, the club has been highly successful, capturing numerous domestic and international titles, including the UEFA Champions League. The team's colors are blue and white.
18 FC Internazionale Milano
19 S.L. Benfica Sport Lisboa e Benfica, commonly known as Benfica, is a Portuguese sports club based in Lisbon, Portugal.

It's one of the most prestigious club in the world, not only to have 2 Champions League, 32 Portuguese Premier League, 25 Portugal Cup, 4 Supercup and 4 League Cup, but also because the have been to the Europa League final a lost with injustice against Chelsea. Benfica played a very good football in the final and deserved to won that. FORÇA BENFICA!

Champions League fifth best team in the season

20 Newcastle Newcastle United Football Club is an English professional association football club based in Newcastle upon Tyne, that plays in the Premier League, the top tier of English football.
21 Apoel FC

Alright they are obviously not the best team in europe but to get to the cl quater finals against real madrid is quite an acheivment and scoring 2 goals at the Bernabeu in the away leg barcelona bearly do it

22 Leicester City
